20 Ways to Yawn - It's contagious and we bet that we can make you! - May 08, 2012

This fun gallery is inspired by a workplace prank played between myself and fellow photo editor (who is now my boss) Taras Slawnych. We would often taunt each other by leaving a "yawning" image on our screen when we would leave the remaining night editor on duty to wrap up the shift into the wee hours. Here are a few classics from our files.

Feel free to share this gallery to taunt your friends and co-workers!
